KUNSTRAUM is calling for submissions for our 2023-2024Artist-in-Residence Program.

KUNSTRAUM offers artist residencies, thought-provoking exhibitions, public programs, networking opportunities, affordable studio space, curatorial fellowships, and discourse for creative production. Through the rotating artist residency program, we offer three-month residencies for national and international artists on a quarterly cycle to join our community. 

All resident artists are encouraged to pursue both their independent projects, as well as to engage with our established community of artists, designers, and filmmakers. Networking events include monthly studio visits by visiting critics and curators, artist salons, exhibition openings, as well as an opportunity to exhibit in the Annual Members Show. 

Each Residency Includes:

• A great artist community to meet and interact with

• A desktop-size studio space inside our subdivided lofts with 24/7 access (no living)

• Participation in the Members Show with studio visit and professional exhibition documentation plus 6 months online sales opportunities 

• Monthly studio visits by 1-2 New York-based curators, gallerists, critics, and art advisers (sample list in the“About” page of our website)

• Community events including gallery openings, curator walkthroughs, discussions, artist salons, and open studios

• Social media promotion and inclusion of your work on our “Studios” website during your residency 

• Access to our internal monthly newsletter with news, events, an open call list with exhibition, grant, and residency opportunities 

The studio spaces have 24/7 access with 13 ft. ceilings, a freight elevator, slop sink, secure Wi-Fi, and are meant to be used for work with non-toxic materials only (all painters work on a non-toxic basis). Blick Art Supply, hardware stores, post office, print shops, supermarkets, restaurants, and delis are just 1.5 blocks away, and Home Depot is as close as 10 blocks.
